John Locke
An Essay Concerning Human Understanding Section S2
Section 656 of 1,114
Canonical reference B3.C4.S2
English
Project Gutenberg transcription of Locke author text
First, the names of SIMPLE IDEAS and SUBSTANCES, with the abstract ideas in the mind which they immediately signify, intimate also some real existence, from which was derived their original pattern. But the names of MIXED MODES terminate in the idea that is in the mind, and lead not the thoughts any further; as we shall see more at large in the following chapter.
French
Pierre Coste · Pierre Mortier, Amsterdam, 1735, third edition
Et prémiérement, les noms des Idées ſimples & des Subſtances marquent, outre les idées abſtraites qu’ils ſignifient immédiatement, quelque exiſtence réelle, d’où leur patron original a été tiré. Mais les noms des Modes mixtes ſe terminent à l’idée qui eſt dans l’Eſprit, & ne portent pas nos penſées plus avant, comme nous verrons dans le Chapitre ſuivant.
